It's always pretty great when a musician can take a song by another musician and make you hear it in a different way. (I'm talking small-scale here, not shit like this.) Take violinist Seth G.'s cover of "Boyfriend," for example. When you heard this song before, you were probably too distracted by the cloyingness of that cute little chicken nugget Justin Bieber to really enjoy it. But take him away and add some strings? "Boyfriend" just became-dare I say -a kind of cool tune.
